Estudios de caso

During its first phase of activities, PCCP has asked experts directly or indirectly involved in the management of selected river basins to author a series of case studies.

The case studies draw lessons from both the root causes of conflicts as well as from examples of successful co-operation in shared water resources management. They provide an important summary of data related to the hydrology of the river basins in addition to substantial information on the historical management of the water resources. The legal, political and economical aspects, which make every case unique, were also analysed and assessed.

In the second phase of the programme, the Lake Titicaca case study followed a different approach. The Ministries of Foreign Affairs of both riparian countries nominated experts who were asked to co-author the case study on their respective behalf. Representatives from the civil society from both countries were also invited to contribute to the exercise. The dialogue opportunities offered by the joint writing process, as well as the review and the validation of the study, further underlined the importance to jointly manage the lake’s resources.
